Objectives of Eugene War,
Community Chest Told
By Houglum in Statement
The increased Importance of the
forthcoming Eugene Community
nd War Cheat campaign which
will be held during November and
link IS separate fund raising ap
peals into one united effort, is em
phasized by Oluf A. Houglum,
president of the Chest, in a state
ment on the objectives of the joint
campaign effort.
"The increasing number of sep
arate local and national money
raising appeals which this city Is
facing has made It evident to busi
ness men, citizens and civic leaders
that steps must now be taken to
consolidate all drives for money In
this community Into one united
effort. It was this factor that led
to the creation of the Community
Chest and also influenced the
board to augment its original plans
by including the several war re
lief appeals which had applied and
intended to conduct campaigns
here into the united Community
and War Chest effort."
Houglum declared It is believed
the residents of Eugene and busi
ness interest can no longer afford
to give donation after donation to
each worthy cause and the many
foreign war relief groups that ex
pect our support and hold cam
paigns throughout the year.
He stated the Community end
War Chest plan makes possible the
merging of several campaigns Into
single effort. "It is our aim and
hope the forthcoming campaign
will be so overwhelmingly accept
ed and successful as to make pos
sible the complete elimination of
separate money raising drives,
with the exception of the Red
Cross national appeal, for the en
tire year," he said. The Red Cross
campaign can not at present be
merged with any other campaigns.
According to advices received from
National Red Cross headquarfers
there will be no Red Cross Roll
Call this fall. Instead the Red
Cross plsns to conduct t single
war fund campaign nationally
text spring. Houglum stated.
. In expressing this aim of the
Community and War Chest appeal,
Mr. Houglum said he felt he spoke
with the virtually unanimous sup
port of the larger donors of the
city, as well as i great list of other
generous and eager contributors
tnd the large army of volunteer
workers who devote th!r time and
energy to soliciting eonributions to
the many welfare and patriotic
causes.
"In view of the Increasing urg
ency on behalf of victory for
very American to budget and
eonomlie on time, energy, and
money, it would be nothing less
than 'sabotage' of our local war
effort to continue the vast dupli
cation anH nverlflnnins nf work
i next year In making sepsrate ap
peals for funds when tne job couia
be done better in one all out con
solidated campaign under the well
organized machinery of a success
ful and effective Community and
War Chest plan," he said.
Appealing to all citizens for
careful consideration, understand
ing and generous response to the
campaigns included in the Com
munity and War Cheat campaign
Houglum pointed out that new
tasks will be assigned all of us as
the war effort deepens; new de
mands will be made upon our time,
energy and money. "If we are to
meet these demands without
wearying of doing good, and if we
are to prove the efficacy of our
way of life, we must start right
here at home in Eugene to stream
line our methods of group action."

Bone only 50 miles east of Tuni
sia frontier may cross the border
today in a race for the French
naval base of Bizerte and the Ital
ian port of Tripoli which lies 340
miles to the southeast.
At the troop-Jammed allied base
of Algiers, significant negotiations
were moving forward with a group
of high French officials, headed
by Admiral Parian, which may
have an immediate bearing on the
question of Tunisia's resistance to
American-British occupation.
Developments:
1. The Tunis airdrome was un
der continued attack by Royal air
force planes, based on Malta,
which shot down six large Italian
troop-carrying planes flying Ger
mans north from Tunisia.
2. American planes, according to
the Vichy radio, were attacking
Tunisian airdromes; British and
American attacks were estimated,
to have damaged or destroyed up
wards of 40 or 50 Axis planes in
Tunisia on the ground or in the
air.
3. American and British forces,
moving east from bases at Bone
and Bougie, were presumed to be
approaching the Tunisian frontier
if they had not already crossed it.
4. Allied headquarters reported
the capture of "considcrbale num
bers" of the German armistice
commission which had been sta
tioned in North Africa; the Nazis
were known to have had about 500
commission observers on the
ground when the American offens
ive was launched.
5. Major negotiations were un

Fast-Talking Colonel, Four
Commandoes Take Airfield
By NED RUSSELL
ALGIERS (Delayed) (U
Four American commandoes led
by a fast-talking British lieutenant
colonel seized the vital airdrome at
Bleda, 30 miles southwest of Al
giers, from several hundred well
armed French troops.
This correspondent watched the
five take the field without firing
a shot after a friendly French
captain had warned the U. S. air
force that authorities were en

had bombed the airdrome at dawn.
We simply drove along a road
covered by several machine gun
posts until we met several high
French officers, then spent three
hours talking and gesticulating
until they realized we did not
want to fight but were determined
to have the field.

In His Own Metaphor
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13 (UP
President Roosevelt, who
sometimes describes himself as

conference today that his lack
of news was due to the fact that
he had a number of hens setting
but they had not laid any eggs
yet.
A newspaperman with some
knowledge of poultry Immediate
ly inquired. "Mr. President,
doej a setting hen lay eggs?"
Farmer Roosevelt "shook his
head ruefully at what was left
of his mixed metaphor.
The conference broke Into
groans and laughter when May
Craig, correspondent for several
Maine newspapers, punned to
the president:
"Could it be, Mr. President,
